Safety

The 8FBR reach forklift truck has Stable Suspension Control, a similar system to the SAS (System of Active Stability ) used on the 8FG/FD and 8FB Series. It offers higher levels of stability when the reach forklift truck is turning or when handling loads extended on its reach legs.

A Front Assist Brake System is equipped to provide computer controlled load wheel brakes, to reduce stopping distance and rear end swaying during braking. This new system provides high levels of brake performance when carrying heavy loads and when on slippery surfaces.

Traction Control System helps to eliminate drive wheel spinning when starting, providing smooth, spin free starts on almost any surface, resulting in longer tyre life.

Performance

The compact and powerful AC drive motor provides smooth starts without jerky accelerator operation. Since the AC motor has no bushes or contactors, it has minimal maintenance, saving you time and money.

Power Select Function allows customisation of load and travel modes, to match reach truck performance to the operating conditions.

The Power Keep Function allows the 8FBR to maintain its "just charged" performance longer.

The motors and motor drivers are used to control the charging current according to the battery condition (voltage, fluid temperature, and deterioration state). This lessens battery damage and contributes less battery fluid reduction
